Chile: A large and fast moving fire started just outside the city of Tiltil, Chile.
#wildfire #SouthAmerica #bomberos
High winds are pushing the fire and numerous homes are threatened. Evacuations have been ordered. The cause of the fire is suspected to be human caused.
Chile’s fire season is starting to look like it’ll be very busy.

When I go into the sea today, I will take the memory of J along with me. Heartbreaking. He was an inspiration for so many. #Bluemind
💔 💙 Our hearts weigh heavy from the passing of @wallacejnichols, whose influential message reminds us to slow down and heal by connecting with our #BlueMind. @plasticpollutes would not exist without his work. We invite you to read our blog in his memory. bit.ly/3zeNC9u

Exciting Aurora Forecast tonight.
Also could be an event with impacts: a reminder that solar storms can impact some the infrastructure we are so accustomed to (gps, electric grids, etc).

As many scientists interviewed here pointed out, the main uncertainty in future temperature change is not a physical science issue: it is a question of the decisions people choose to make. We are not experts in that; instead let's ask the elected officials, CEOs & other leaders!
Climate experts were increasingly saying that keeping heating below 1.5C is near impossible, yet it remains the global goal. So I asked hundreds of top IPCC scientists what they thought. What they said shocked even me…

Squamish turned down the float-hotel.
So tie it up in downtown Vancouver or Victoria!
Be brave: get a few hundred people off the street.
Add some community services to the ship & we have instant supportive housing.

Huge oil spill is wiping out coastline & sea life in Trinidad and Tobago. Shipwreck visible but as yet unidentified.
Canada & USA import Trinidad’s natural resources. Maybe now we should send disaster assistance.
More than 1,000 volunteers have joined government staff to clean up the oil spill in the Carbian island of Trinidad and Tobago.

‘’If you live north of the red line in either of these images, you may be able to see the northern lights in the next couple of days.’’
On the heels of what was likely one of the largest solar radio events ever recorded yesterday, scientists at NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center have detected multiple Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) and have issued a Geomagnetic Storm Watch. The G1-G2 (Minor - Moderate) storm may bring #aurora viewing (north of red line on these images) as far south as Maine, to New York, to Iowa, to Washington state tomorrow night (Saturday).
